Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap

Rating : - very good replacement
I didn't really have any complaints with the original Canon strap on my camera, aside from the rough edges that seemed to dig into my neck and/or shoulders if I was carrying it for more than a few minutes (plus I didn't want a huge "CANON" logo on me, may as well pin a big "rob me, please" sign on there too!).
I wasn't really in the market for a new strap but noticed this in a store and thought "why not". The pad, though much smaller than the original Canon strap, slides to accommodate different positions and is much softer. I wore this camera for hours on end when I was on vacation and it didn't wear me down or cause me pain. Only issue is that the grip texture takes up very little area on the pad, which means it doesn't hold onto your shoulder so well if you're carrying it by your side.
The fasteners/buckles are a great touch. If/when you don't need the strap, you can detach it and just go full handheld. Great for pick-up/put-down situations where you want it easy to get at, but the strap would hang in the way or get caught on stuff (in my case, helping my family with home remodeling).
Finally, the little pocket that is velcroed to the strap is very handy. I have a backup CF card and a lens cloth folded up in it. This makes it so you don't even have to clutter your pockets with camera gear.
Camera straps are almost like clothing, so everyone is going to have their preferences. If you have a chance, go to a store and check it out. I would recommend this strap for people who plan on traveling or just being out with their camera for extended periods of time. In this price range straps don't get much better.

Editor Reviews: Product Description:
The Transporter was designed for the professional or core enthusiast photographer who works with multiple cameras, binoculars or other photography equipment. The unique design includes a comfortable, non-slip shoulder pad that stays in place even when the strap is adjusted to a variety of lengths or swung completely out of the way while using another piece of equipment.
A detachable memory card wallet provides quick access to cards while shooting.
Two quick-release buckles make switching from one camera body to another fast and easy while double ladder-locks ensure a secure connection between the strap and the camera for maximum stabilization.
